Street Bible
$13.99
An engaging new translation of the Bible into the language of the city. Rob Lacey reworks the metaphors, situations, and speech patterns of the Bible to create a real impact on the modern, urban reader. Taking the key texts of the Old and New Testament, Rob Lacey employs the MTV dialect of today’s urban city to create a new and original look at what may be over-familiar stories. Through its modern style, The Street Bible acts as an accessible and exciting introduction to the Bible for the uninitiated reader while giving a fresh perspective to the church community. A sample from Romans 7 reads: ‘So what’ll we say then? Are the Ten Written Rules wicked? No! We’d never have known what ‘wicked’ was, unless the rules had been published and circulated. Rule 6 says: “Don’t drool over what’s not yours,” but of course, my dark side takes its cue from this and what happens? I’m gagging for stuff that’s not mine and never should be.’ A translation that will bring the timeless message of the Bible into the 21st century with the impact it had in the 1st century.

Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffins Path To God
$14.99We are made for the love of God, and nothing less will ever satisfy us. In his acclaimed bestseller, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning showed us the powerful truth that the divine gifts of love is ever present for us regardless of the state of our lives. Now in this challenging sequel, he turns to our primary obstacle to living fully within this divine love — the lack of “ruthless trust.”
Through rich stories and deep insights, Manning shows us how true and radical trust can transform everything in our lives. No matter where we are on our path of discipleship, he offers encouragement to shed the limitations of fear, shame, and doubt through complete reliance upon God. The way of Ruthless Trust is not an abstract theory; it is that very practical and demanding path that each of us must follow in response to God’s love.
